England has been offered a choice between war and shame. She has chosen shame and will get war.
Winston Churchill

Neville Chamberlain looked at foreign affairs through the wrong end of a municipal drainpipe.
Winston Churchill
Image
Everyone can recognize history when it happens. Everyone can recognize history after is has happened but only the wise man knows at the moment what is vital and permanent, what is lasting and memorable.
Winston Churchill
Image
No socialist government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp or violently worded expressions of public discontent. They would have to fall back on some form of Gestapo, no doubt very humanly directed in the first instance.

War is horrible, but slavery is worse.
Winston Churchill
Image
Everybody stumbles across a golden opportunity at least once in a lifetime. Unfortunately most people just pick themselves up, dust themselves down, and walk away from it.
Winston Churchill
